At Susan Worner Tours we have over 25 years’ experience of organising journeys to some of the world’s most fascinating gardens, public and private, and less visited natural and wildlife areas. We specialise in bespoke, accompanied travel for small groups.
This may be for friends who have a shared interest in gardens and nature, or for members of a botanical society, focusing on an area of particular interest.
On our website, you will find a selection of suggested destinations that, we hope, will pique your interest. However, it is by no means the last word and we will be happy to work with you to design an itinerary to suit your preferences.
We look forward to accompanying you on new voyages of discovery over the coming months.

On your journey you will be accompanied by a leader or guide with excellent local knowledge. Every destination is carefully researched, and we are ready to add visits to cultural sites of interest and plan routes through areas of exceptional natural beauty and fascination according to your preference.
Visits to private gardens, often in the company of the owner or head gardener, provide a real insight into their design, execution and maintenance, and a chance to exchange ideas and pitch your questions to the experts.
We select accommodation of a high standard, often in boutique hotels. We choose restaurants where menus feature excellent, seasonal food and locally grown produce, and, where relevant, the wines of the areas we travel in.
In addition, there may be picnics al fresco, memorable meals in a garden setting, and sundowners in the wild – each journey has its special flavour.

We would like to convey our heartfelt concern and support for the people of Morocco following Friday’s earthquake. Many of you have travelled with us through the area most affected and have been so impressed by the beauty and grandeur of the country’s landscape and gardens, matched only by the kindness and warmth of the people.
We can confirm that Hassan, our guide in the mountains, and his family are safe, as are our driver Adil and his family. We await news of our guide in Marrakech, Hafid. Our thoughts are with them all.
